So long 82nd Airborne | Small recap of my journey

The purpose of my videos is to inspire, motivate, and encourage fellow service members and civilians to continue to strive to be the best version of themselves.
I take joy in being extremely transparent with you all in my Army journey. Learn from my mistakes so you do not make them yourself.

[@guitarwhelp]

Appreciate you keeping it real with your experiences. Not many people have the balls to admit their struggles. Stay hungry

[@Jabarikjay]

Always! Honesty is the best policy.

[@WHIPPL3]

@DaMonte pay rates are very accurate my man they just dont include special duty pay like flight pay. Google will not lie to you this time.

[@fishmi6031]

Sir, you'll be missed. It was a privilege having you as my PL

[@Jabarikjay]

It was an honor working with you all. My one and only Platoon.

[@joshuagarcia776]

I commend you for being so transparent. I’m a prior service E6 who’s currently going through the Green to Gold Program. I’ll commission next year, and I truly feel that messages like this are what cadets need to hear. Things aren’t always going to go as you want them, despite how great your efforts may be. What matters in the end is the growth you experience, the impact you make on others and the life lessons you learn along the way. Good luck to you on your future endeavors Sir. I’m sure you’ll crush it wherever you go.

[@Jabarikjay]

I truly appreciate your comment! Thank you

Great vid! Congratulations on your promotion to Captain.

[@Stroles84]

Great video brother. I always knew you would be destined to do great things. It makes me proud to know that you are becoming a great leader in the Army. A lot of people hate Bragg. It seems like you didn’t mind it so bad. I know I try and appreciate every day I have here because, as we both know, the grass isn’t always greener. Keep up the good work. Hope to run into you one day so I can salute you and shake your hand.

[@Jabarikjay]

Thanks a lot man! Being at Bragg taught me a lot. I loved the feeling of exiting the aircraft but the fast pace lifestyle can be a bit much on your mental. One day we’ll definitely run into each other. The Army is small.

[@ToxicSoul03]

This is incredible. All The Way Sir!!!

[@lovephillips3]

No where but up for you, Sir!! You’re a man of grit, integrity, and honor. I’ve watched you grow from college to now and I couldn’t be more proud. If I had it to do again I would definitely be Public Affairs. (I was a tank turret mechanic) God speed, Captain.

[@Jabarikjay]

Thank you Sir!!

[@sharrijohnson4332]

Thank you for the support !

Great job! CPT.👍🏿

[@Jabarikjay]

Thank you!

[@deltaforce4477]

As a civilian, most friends who I knew who were enlisted never quite liked officers for lack of great characteristics and quality they look for in military officers. You demonstrate how an Army Officer should lead and who should never treat they’re enlisted like they’re better than them. This is one of the first few videos on KZbin for that purpose, congrats on your promotion, and I hope your career continues to strive!

[@Jabarikjay]

Thank you! I appreciate that

[@kamerondunnuck6759]

@@Jabarikjay You're so welcome, I wish I could sit it all over again, it's like I can close my eyes and I'm there! I'm totally retired now, but I miss those days, and the amazing soldiers I served with, and I truly miss the life, the juice...I loved living on the edge! Keep on living the dream my Brother!

[@Jabarikjay]

Congratulations on your commissioning and good luck. I hope your experience is better than mine. Have fun but don’t take your eyes off what’s important. You’re there to work.

[@simplymotivated1511]

That's the thing about military ppl who can surpass the downfall in the army will progress well. Too often after a denial, bad counseling, flag, failed course, ppl just give up n get out & have nothing but negative against they service & time

Your vulnerability is your strength Brotha. We win or we learn. This is true leadership.

[@Jabarikjay]

Thank you!!

[@newworldhopes8462]

Are you still a Transportation Officer? I’m considering going into the Transportation Corps after Army ROTC

[@Jabarikjay]

Hey, and no I actually just recently transferred over to Public Affairs. Transportation is a great branch and can literally take you anywhere in the Army. It’s a lot of work though so be prepared.

[@pantonio2894]

Yep 82nd is fast moving train

[@jeepdickbirgade4979]

AIRBORNE

[@Jabarikjay]

All the way!

[@caseystrong848]

Sounds like you were a terrible leader and the officers above you noticed it. It speaks volumes as to what others think of you when you don't evert get an award.

[@Jabarikjay]

I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. I definitely do my best to be the best leader I can be and if my best isn’t good enough then I’ll try harder. As far as awards go I’ll get my own if nobody gets me one. Be blessed.

[@caseystrong848]

@@Jabarikjay yeah we noticed that you'll buy yourself one.

[@FunkyAss-yn1kg]

What’s your definition of a terrible leaders ? Since others opinions matter ! Last time I check , it’s not about what people at the Top think because they don’t work with you ! It what the soldiers think ! The soldiers opinions matters most ! CPT Johnson , you are awesome ! Keep being you and sharing your experiences. We appreciate you ! Awards does not make you an great leader, your IMPACT does ! Keep having a impact!

[@FunkyAss-yn1kg]

@@caseystrong848 as he should ! And how you know , he didn’t get an award ?

[@caseystrong848]

@Funky Ass I'm pretty sure being relieved from command and receiving a negative counseling for his terrible performance is enough too define a terrible leader. Also the part where he said he purchased his own plaque.
